Sobre este artículo
London: Hodder & Stoughton, 2001. 1st. hardback. Very good, 1st edition, with unclipped d/j (v.g.), blue boards clean, rose gilt spine titling bright; pages unmarked clean and tight, owner's inscription ffep.. 8vo: royal (250 x 170 / 10"" x 6_""). Tessa Quayle, a brilliant and beautiful young social activist, has been found brutally murdered by Lake Turkana in Nairobi. The rumours are that she was faithless, careless, but her husband Justin, a reserved, garden-loving British diplomat, refuses to believe them. As he sets out to discover what really happened to Tessa, he unearths a conspiracy more disturbing, and more deadly, than he could ever have imagined. A blistering expos of global corruption, The Constant Gardener is also the moving portrayal of a man searching for justice for the woman he has barely had time to love.
